Janelle Monae

Here is another huge talent, who seems to be very well managed, and using the net to promote.  Note how her songs are wrapped in ads, which of course drive her revenue everytime someone listens to her video...  I have some 70 youtube videos up, and could do the same (I don't know what they would earn) but I do know they drive class and book sales.)

She is a stunning beauty, obviously very smart, and as one commenter noted, this song sounds like a Bond film song.  Yes, artists will do that, try to create a song that will be bought by a franchise, like the Bond films.

Ever since Shirley Bassey belted out Goldfinger, every singer has wanted to do a Bond film.  paul McCartney, Sheena Easton, and so on.

I recall giving props to movie and tv shows so our products would show up nationwide... not that it did much good... now you have to pay the shows to get used.  The world keeps changing, more or less.
